So block the article in India but there’s no reason to block it in the rest of the world. Fuck India’s government gonna do to them?

We were blocked in Turkey for 3 years or so, and fought all the way to the Supreme Court and won. Nothing has changed about our principles. The difference in this case is that the short term legal requirements in order to not wreck the long term chance of victory made this a necessary step.

Hopefully not block the entire website in India.

Wikipedia unfortunately has a policy of blocking so-called open proxies.

Most of the internet blocks open proxies. They're often times used in malicious attacks. Just blocking them isn't suspicious at all.

edit: This post is also quite old. Kind of weird that you're necro-commenting on it...
